Original “Gabardiers”, they transported barrels on the traditional sailboats called the “Gabarres” from the docks of Saint-Brice de Vignonet to Bordeaux.

The family acquired its first vines in 1704 and began a long tradition of craft and innovative winemaking. Each generation has contributed to the growth of the vineyard, the cellar and the quality of the wines.

Today, Thibault and Paul-Arthur Bardet are bringing a new and innovative pulse to the traditional Saint-Emilion wines.

Paul-Arthur was elected one of the world’s best 50 young winemakers in 2021.

Each generation the Bardet family has brought innovation to increase the quality of their vines and their winemaking.

During the last decade, Philippe Bardet, designed and patented two machines: to sort grapes and unripe fruit selecting only the best and separate the smallest with the most concentrated sugar content from the largest to create unique assemblages.

Preserving the vines and the land has always been key to the Bardet family.
